Hi there blogging friends: My teammates over at SHOPPING OUR STASH have a fabulous challenge for you this week. The theme is SHAPED CARDS, easy, right?
Well, the challenge is for you to use any shape except SQUARES, RECTANGLES, OVALS OR CIRCLES, anything else is perfectly acceptable.
So here is my contribution for this challenge, my card is shaped as a flower pot.
I watched several videos on how to make this shaped cards and THIS ONE was the best at how to go about it. I had my flower pot die set so I just used it for my card, I also went a bit crazy with my flowers, I have a lot more than on the video but still, the way she made the insert was super helpful.
I created the pot with a die set from Spellbinders called "Flower Pots", the flowers were stamped with a retired SU set called "Flower Shop" from the 2013-2014 catalog and punched with the coordinating punch. I stamped the flowers with different SU inks and then gave them a bit of shadow and color with my Prismacolor pencils.
The greenery was die cut with the retired SU die set called "Botanical Blooms", the ribbon is also from my SU stash.
**********************************************************************
The flowers can be pulled out of the pot for you to write a little massage.
I hope you stop by the SHOPPING OUR STASH blog for more inspiration from my teammates.
Check out their blogs to see how they created their cards and leave them some comment love.
Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

Oh, my goodness, look at this! It's so beautiful and clever and I'm going to totally copy it someday. Thanks for the link to the video. I have flower pot dies and certainly plenty of flowers, but I've never thought to emboss the pot and make a pull-out tag. Brilliant! I love it!
